Adam Gilchrist decided to save one last dance for Perth.
A gentlemanly hundred.
It was a romantic gesture, but it would have been nicer if the game was on Valentines day.
Interestingly enough while Gilly usually tries to do the mash potato, this time he went with a waltz.
Gilly is such a super guy, he wanted this one to last, you know, one last jaunt around the dance hall for old times sake.
He even got the DJ, Clarke, to put on some slow music, so it would last all night.
Unfortunately Gilly did what he has done all too often in his career, he made all the other men look like dodgy dancers.
Hayden had two left feet.
Punter was dancing to the wrong tune.
Roy decided to spend time at the bar.
And Hussey danced the Perth two step, but he never really got the rhythm of it.
Gilly however twirled around with a grace usually reserved for Ballerinas or Muhammad Ali.
Gilly has danced, longer, faster, sexier and better many a time before, but this one had a certain sumthin sumthin.
When the Sri Lankans hit the floor, only the King Kumar danced anywhere near as good, but he ran out of partners.
Happens to the best of us.
Anything Gilly does from here on in is gravy.
He can stumble, stand on feet, dance to the wrong song, or anything else, but his hometown crowd will remember this dance for a long time.www.cricketwithballs.com "losing the war on over rates, winning the war on tony greig"
